I have school in 4 hours and I hate a majority of my life, but the thing that keeps me going is the few hours I spend on the weekend doing what I love.

I kinda dipped outa the ski scene the last few years for this exact reason. I have a bunch of people I like to ride with, but I don't really try to get too involved anymore because it just kinda bums me out.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I look like a fucking skittle on the hill, but I def. do it because I like it. My steeze is so wack, I look like a fool, but I have so much fun, in or out of the park. In pow or on... packed pow...

Fuck. I haven't skied in 3 weeks. Its killing me. Engineering School sucks...

Why rant when you can keep it simple? Here goes:

I legitimately believe skiing keeps me alive because its the one thing in this world that is a reliable source of happiness for me.

Hows that?

skiings amazing always has been
i guess the negative aspects (of the style and attitude of most skiers under the age of 24) are easier to rant on
and arent rants usually negative

you can have baggy clothes and still love the sport just as much. some kids make it all about clothes. you cant say that everbody does that.

I remember when happy dayz came out, life was good. I thought that shit was the pinnacle of newschool skiing. I used to get my mind blown by freeze on a monthly basis, i miss that feeling.

and I remember the B-crew.

HOLY SHIT YES. i was just a little one when happy dayz came out and my older bro got it and i watched it like everyday. my older bro also got freeze and i would always jack em and read em and im pretty sure i still have some that i took from him haha...so yes i grew up on both of these and i LOVE it.

also i think the whole tall t, tall jacket, short poles, etc. this is a joke
